Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast, skinless and boneless
- 400 grams Baby potatoes
- 150 grams Green beans
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Capers
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1.5 tablespoons White wine vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the chicken breasts and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until fully cooked. Remove the chicken, let it cool slightly, then shred into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
In the same pot of boiling water, add the baby potatoes. Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and cut them in halves or quarters, depending on their size.
Blanch the green beans by boiling them for 2-3 minutes in salted water. Drain and plunge into ice water to retain their color and crunch. Pat them dry and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cooked potatoes, green beans, cherry tomatoes, red onion slices, parsley, and capers.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper to make the vinaigrette.
Pour the vinaigrette over the salad mixture. Toss gently to evenly coat all the ingredients.
Let the salad rest for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.
